Patches for NeoOffice 3.4.1

NeoOffice would sometimes crash when changing the shape of a poly polygon object.

3.4.1 Patch-24: This patch fixes the following bugs:

NeoOffice would hang when dragging a pivot table onto a chart.

NeoOffice would crash when double-clicking on a cell in a pivot table.

3.4.1 Patch-23: This patch fixes the following bug:

When opening OpenOffice or LibreOffice documents, NeoOffice would display the wrong fonts for light and semi-bold text. For light text, NeoOffice would use the correct font but with the font's regular variant. For semi-bold text, NeoOffice would also use the correct font but with the font's bold variant.

3.4.1 Patch-22: This patch fixes the following bugs:

When pressing and holding a vowel key, NeoOffice would repeatedly enter the unaccented character even after OS X displayed a list of accented characters.

NeoOffice now asks the user for permission before updating links in a document. In previous versions of NeoOffice, NeoOffice would silently update links in some documents.

Opening a new window while in full screen mode no longer causes NeoOffice to hang.

Typing text in a full screen mode window no longer fails.

3.4.1 Patch-16: The new changes included in this patch are listed below:

When opening, editing, or saving lengthy, 100+ page Writer documents with tables, NeoOffice now recalculates page breaks and table cell sizes in the background in small chunks over the course of a few minutes. By deferring the recalculation, you no longer need to wait for the recalculation to finish before you can continue editing your documents.

When printing, exporting to PDF, or previewing lengthy, 100+ page Writer documents with tables, NeoOffice now displays a dialog if recalculating page breaks and table cell sizes takes more than 30 seconds. This dialog gives you the option to cancel the recalculation. If you cancel the recalculation, NeoOffice uses rough guesses to set page breaks and table cells and immediately proceeds to printing, exporting to PDF, or previewing your document.

3.4.1 Patch-15: The new changes included in this patch are listed below:

NeoOffice no longer pauses after several swipes. NeoOffice's swipe event handling code would sometimes pause for a moment if the user swiped several times in a row.

Swiping or moving the scroll wheel very slowly will now move only a single line or row at a time. Before, NeoOffice would randomly jump 2 or 3 lines when swiping or moving the scroll wheel very slowly.

When swiping or moving the scroll wheel rapidly, the page or row number tooltip no longer flickers rapidly. The flickering tooltip was caused by NeoOffice's underlying OpenOffice code closing and reopening the tooltip after each swipe or scrolling event.

3.4.1 Patch-14: The new changes included in this patch are listed below:

When running on OS X Yosemite, NeoOffice would sometimes draw Arabic characters on top of each other.

One of the bug fixes that we added in NeoOffice 2014.6 would cause NeoOffice to sometimes scroll slower than normal.

NeoOffice would sometimes crash when quitting.

When saving .ods files that were originally created in OpenOffice or LibreOffice, NeoOffice would require the user to reset the password for each protected sheet.

When clicking on cells in .ods files that were originally created in LibreOffice, NeoOffice would fail to select any cells in protected sheets.

NeoOffice would draw punctuation characters in Japanese vertical text in the wrong position and with horizontal font glyphs.

When querying for null values in spreadsheet data sources, empty cells would be treated as if they were not null.

When sending a mail merge to a file instead of to the printer, NeoOffice would fail to create the mail merge file.

3.4.1 Patch-12: The new changes included in this patch are listed below:

When running NeoOffice on OS X Yosemite and exporting a document to PDF, all text in the document that uses a Type 1 font would not be displayed in the exported PDF.

When running the Mac App Store version of NeoOffice and documents are kept open for more than a day, OS X would sometimes delete NeoOffice's temporary files. This would cause saving any open documents to fail until NeoOffice was relaunched.

Changed the order of document types in “Save As” dialogues to group Microsoft Office 2008/2011 document types with other Microsoft Office document types.
